I own a 1972 Chevelle and i am trying to find the paint code, and who produced the stock pint for the "SS" red. I have browsed the PAint code section of the site and I am still lost so any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you>

Open the hood, and look at the driver's side firewall top...
You'll see a plate there.
This is the Cowl-Tag.

In the 3rd line of the Cowl Tag, You should see:

PNT ** ** (The ** is a 2 digit number that you need to tell us what it is..)

Somelike like PNT 26 26, that means the car was medium Blue.

The only RED available was paint code 72 Cranberry Red.

Lucite # 5339L
R&M # A-22788F
Ditzler #2189

I beleive these are all old Lacquer #'s. You will have to cross to modern BCCC #'s.
